Welcome to our 1978 Jaguar XJ6 Series 2 barn find. The Jag was stored in a garage not far from us, only a couple of miles away, since 1999, 24 years ago, when it was taken off the road for maintenance by it’s previous owner.
In this episode we finally fix the frustrating overheating issue that we have been battling on the barn find Jag, which many of you were right about the cause of the issue. Check out this episode to find out what it was. We also diagnosed the rattle under the car and fix this too.
The challenge we have set ourselves in this Jaguar barn find series, is to revive the Jag and to get the car back on the road again.
So let’s crack on, We hope you enjoy the episode
Huge thank you for watching.
